BattleTech nerd since 1996. Cartographer and 3d printer. Follow me for painting miniatures and a little bit of my travels!
A friend who already has a commission going asked for some quick service Sword of Light Demolishers for an event coming up. I just happened to have the minis on hand so I obliged. #battletech ##catalystgamelabs #mechwarrior #miniaturepainting ##battletechminiatures #battletechalphastrike

Was testing out some new techniques and didn't like the result so I just popped some blue and yellow on these old plastic minis to get them as 4th Crucis Lancers. #Battletech #battletechalphastrike #catalystgamelabs ##mechwarrior #minipainting #vallejopaints #newlifeforoldminis

Another NOVA Open wrapped up! Had a great time at the Northern Assault Alpha Strike Tournament against 46 other incredible players! Ended up in 37th with my Crater Cobras. Unfortunately did not place in the Capitol Palette but there is always next year. #novaopen #battletech #northernassault

Finished up the last couple minis from the FASA 1697 scenario book First Srtike. These are the 3rd McCarron's Armored Cavalry from the Sarna mission. Just need to finish some Davion Guard to complete the setup. #Battletech #battletechalphastrike #catalystgamelabs ##minipainting ##6mmwargaming

No matter how good the QA, sometimes mistakes are made. This miscast Iron Wind Metals Awesome mini was in my scrap box but it has a new life as a test for damage. Painted as 3rd McCarron's Armored Cavalry #battletech #battletechminiatures #battletechalphastrike #catalystgamelabs #ironwindmetals

@universalorl.bsky.social We were a little hesitant to get the 2nd generation wands at the Wizarding World. They are, for lack of a better word, clunky. We did end up getting them and completing the quests over the last few days and look forward to seeing what the next adventures look like.

@michaelastackpole.bsky.social if you could take one technology from Star Wars and add it to the Battletech universe what would it be? How about the other way around? #Battletech #starwars

You made it through another work week. Have you had something to eat today or gone outside? Are you slouching? Do you have anything fun offline planned? Is there a friend or loved one you could call?
Try not to doomscroll too late tonight. You still deserve time to rest and recover.

One benefit of playing a game for so long is having lots of old minis to test schemes on. Here is an older Atlas I used to test my process for 1st FedSun Armored Cav. #battletech #battletechminiatures #battletechalphastrike #catalystgamelabs #mechwarrior #miniatures #minipainting #6mmwargaming

Hello Bluesky! I have been pulling some old minis out that were either broken or unfinished and giving them a new and complete life.
Here is an Iron Wind Metals JagerMech III painted up for the 10th Lyran Guard.
